In this release, we have focused on refining Helm to support smoother operations, clearer picking flows and more predictable shipping; each enhancement is designed to remove friction for your teams and keep your fulfilment running elegantly in the background.

Improvements

Amazon order alignment:

For Amazon-only orders, split child orders now share the same order ID as the main order. This creates a single, consistent reference across main and child orders, making it easier for your teams to track activity, reconcile information and respond to customer queries with confidence. By aligning these IDs, we help you maintain cleaner records and reduce the risk of confusion in busy operational environments.

Single Item Single Picking Flexibility:

Bulk and sort options for Single Item Single (SIS) picks have been reintroduced to give you more control over how your teams pick and process these orders. You can enable this feature from General Settings: Allow Single Item Single (SIS) Order Sorting. This flexibility supports more efficient warehouse routines, whether you are prioritising speed, accuracy or a balance of both, so that your workflows can adapt to your exact operational style.

Operational Safeguards and Reliability

Shipment ID Consistency:

We have strengthened the shipment ID assignment process so that each shipment request is now handled with more robust, predictable logic. This refinement ensures that different shipment requests cannot be assigned the same shipment ID, supporting accurate tracking, smoother carrier integrations and clearer audit trails. The result is a more dependable shipping experience for your teams and your customers.

Batch Handling for Dispatched Orders:

Batch selection is now correctly restricted once an order has been dispatched, which protects the integrity of your despatch process and helps keep your records fully aligned with what has left the warehouse. By preventing further batch selection on dispatched orders, Helm reduces the risk of accidental changes, supports compliance and gives your team greater confidence that the data on screen faithfully reflects what has already moved.

Every refinement is aimed at making your daily work feel lighter, more predictable and more elegant. From ID alignment and picking flexibility to tighter safeguards and data integrity, these enhancements are built to support your operations, protect your compliance needs and give you one less thing to worry about while you focus on your customers.
